I remember most of these:

[SeattleVet]

1. Love the total irony of the first one!

If your hair is extra dirty because of air pollution, use this spray can with an ozone-depleting propellant!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. I can still smell that Wella Balsam!

[MuseRider]

4. Mmmmm

it came back as I looked at the ad. It did smell nice.

[MuseRider]

3. Ohh yes

our hair. It was such a thing. It may still be but since I watch TV in such a different way I don't see it and we don't have magazines like we used to. I remember most of them too.

I always liked the add with the pollution problem. It was a really nice ad to look at.

5. And then there was the Queen of them all: Rula Lenska and Alberto V05

[Wicked Blue]

6. I had long straight hippie hair in those days

Didn't use any of that muck except a few sprays of Sun-In now and then.

7. My sister was in a body cast for about 9 months

She used Pssst to keep her hair clean. I'd sneak using it, because I thought it was cool.

8. I Used

every one of those shampoos and conditioners. I didn't color my hair or use any kind of post-shower sprays because I did and do hate product on my hair. Hair stylists hate me.

9. My sister used a product called Sun In to lighten her hair as a young teen.

She had what she called Squirrel Hair that was a dishwater blonde. If memory serves me, you sprayed it on your hair and then sat out in the sun. It did lighten your hair somewhat. Nothing like a heavy duty bleach, but it did give a sun streaked look which was popular at the time.
